Office conversation

So, the democracy that was exercised few days back brought results. If you don’t know what, then let me tell you. In our department we all were asked to forward the name of two employees one from assistant level and other from executive level, who we think deserved the annual perk from office. I exuberantly forwarded two names and the one who deserved won. I had left office earlier on the day of result. Following conversation transpired the next day on the same issue.
Raxi: Ram Prasad has got the grades. Hari was fired. According to Mr. Ro if everything was planned there was no need for the drama. He was really enraged.
Sandy: Wow! That’s cool. He deserved it.
Subbu: Yup! He works really hard and obeys things.
Hem: I also think he deserved it. But what ever that was done in the name of nomination was a frame. It had some other intention.
Raxi: didn’t you learn about the whole thing yesterday.
Sandy: No how would I.
Raxi(mockingly): you people shun work in the name of going to pulchowk.
Sandy: it does not mean that going to pulchowk is to know who got what. I do not go to unconcerned departments smelling new things cooking. I was at the Inventory.
Hem: Yes I was also at inventory but remained mostly at HR.
Raxi: Mr. Da who was so reluctant to vote and said he was concerned for others finally voted himself for assistant and Dept. Chief for executives.
Sandy: But I heard for Dept. Chief he had written he would not resent whoever is recommended.
Subbu: How come you people know the results when it hasn’t been flashed?
Sandy: I heard it on the workshop day.
Hem: After conducting the whole drama at least they should have come out with the results.
Sandy: Most of the staffs knew informally only we three were spared.
Raxi: Mr. Ro had told as soon as the recommendation cheats were counted.
Hem: Why does these things happen?
Subbu: this is so frustrating!! These things is not encouraging. Whether do not leak the information if you do make sure everybody knows it.
Sandy: The reality in our department is that we have groupism. We talk about one thing with some and with others the whole content is manipulated. There is no need to backbite anyone.
Hem: that is the main problem, at the end of the day we have to do our own work. The whole drama was to learn what the staffs think about each other and about their executives.
(Subbu leaves to fix something)
Raxi: I do not know about the intention but it was useless as the staffs feared that their handwriting will be identified and they will be biased.
Sandy: yes that could be the reason. This time my another nomination was a game of politics. I loved playing it.
Raxi: The best way was to ask the staffs to tick the names from the list and drop it in a box. It would have been justified and the result would have been fair.
Sandy: But to me the result is fair though what you said is correct.
Raxi: For e.g. Mr. Su had worked in this department for years and he hasn’t even got the perk a single time. He has worked hard.
Sandy: But its based on the work evaluation this year.
Raxi: It is a lie, a blatant lie. Then how come we can’t get the grades.
Sandy: Dept Chief had said we could be recommended.
Raxi: Then he knows nothing about the office rule. There is a rule which says employees can be recommended for grades only three years after they have joined the job.
We left the cabin after a guffaw. There are still few things that we all can agree on.
